Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a haul truck body and a method for manufacturing a haul truck body. The invention also relates to a truck.
- Wear-resistant linings are known and used both in chutes and on truck platforms for protecting the base. They usually consist of natural or synthetic rubber and are to protect from hard impacts by rocks and wear exerted by material moving over and in contact with the surface of the lining element. Relatively soft rubber materials provide good resistance to wear, but to prevent hard impacts from breaking through the lining element, this must be given a large thickness. Harder rubber materials provide better protection from impacts, but are more susceptible to abrasive wear. Therefore, lining elements have been developed, in which different materials are combined in the outwardly directed surface of the elements, over which surface material in the form of pieces or particles, such as crushed ore and crushed rock material, is intended to move.
- A problem when using such lining elements in order to protect a surface from wear, such as a surface on a haul truck body, is that material tends to find its way in under the lining elements by travelling in between an edge of the lining elements and the surface the edge is to bear against. This is a problem since the material gradually will loosen the lining elements from the surface to which it is attached such that the lining elements eventually will fall off. Additionally, the truck will carry around unwanted weight, leading to higher fuel consumption and in turn higher costs than necessary.
- To solve the problem mentioned above, the lining elements are normally provided with an integrated steel end protection, which is welded onto the haul truck body. This results in high production costs and a long installation time.
- It is an objective of the present invention to mitigate, alleviate or eliminate one or more of the above-identified deficiencies in the art and disadvantages singly or in any combination and solve at least the above mentioned problems.
- According to a first aspect of the invention, these and other objects, and/or advantages that will be apparent from the following description of embodiments, are achieved, in full or at least in part, by a haul truck body comprising a front wall and two opposing side walls. Each side wall presents an inner surface and an upper edge portion extending from a rear end of the side wall towards the front wall. Each side wall comprises an upper reinforcement element which is integrally formed with the side wall and extends along the upper edge portion of the side wall. The reinforcement element presents a lining protection portion projecting inwardly beyond the inner surface of the side wall towards the opposing side wall, and is configured to both reinforce the side wall as well as, by the lining protection portion, to form an upper lining protection for a side wall lining.
- The advantages achieved by providing the reinforcement element on the inside of each side wall are comprehensive. As stated above, the reinforcement element will both reinforce the side wall as well as form an upper lining protection for a side wall lining. In turn, the lining elements of the side wall lining will no longer have to be provided with an integrated steel end protection, which will result in lower production costs and also a decreased installation time. The decrease in installation time is achieved by eliminating the step of welding the integrated steel end protection to the haul truck body.
- By providing the reinforcement element along the upper edge portion of each side wall it will be able to protect the lining elements all the way up to the top of the side walls.
- The haul truck body may further comprise a side wall lining arranged on the inner surface of each side wall, wherein each side wall lining has an upper lining edge which is located directly under the associated lining protection portion.
- The lining protection portion as well as the upper lining edge located thereunder may project essentially perpendicular to the surface of the side wall.
- Each lining protection portion may project over the upper edge of the side wall lining by a distance at least equal to a thickness of the side wall lining.
- Each side wall lining may comprise a plurality side wall lining elements located directly under the associated lining protection portion and forming the upper lining edge of the side wall lining.
- The reinforcement element may extend substantially along the entire length of the side wall from the front wall to the rear end.
- The reinforcement element may be divided into two or more reinforcement element units.
- The front wall may also comprise a reinforcement element which is integrally formed with the front wall and extends along the upper edge portion of the front wall.
- According to a second aspect of the invention, these and other objects are achieved, in full or at least in part, by a truck comprising a haul truck body according to the first aspect of the invention.
- According to a third aspect of the invention, these and other objects are achieved, in full or at least in part, by a method for manufacturing a haul truck body having a front wall, two opposite side walls, a bottom and a lining. The method comprises forming each side wall with a reinforcement element, which is integrally formed with the side wall and which extends along an upper edge portion of the side wall, such that the reinforcement element presents a lining protection portion projecting inwardly beyond the inner surface of the side wall towards the opposing side wall, and such that the reinforcement element both reinforces the side wall as well as, by the lining protection portion, forms an upper lining protection for a side wall lining, and subsequently attaching a side wall lining on the inner surface of each side wall, the side wall lining having an upper lining edge being located directly under and protected by the lining protection portion.
- The step of subsequently attaching a side wall lining on the inner surface of each side wall may comprise attaching a plurality side wall lining elements.
- The plurality of side wall lining elements may be attached directly under the associated lining protection portion, thereby forming the upper lining edge of the side wall lining.
- The step of forming each side wall with a reinforcement element may comprise forming the reinforcement element to extend substantially along the entire length of the side wall from the front wall to the rear end.
- According to a further aspect of the invention, these and other objects, and/or advantages that will be apparent from the following description of embodiments, are achieved, in full or at least in part, by a haul truck body comprising a front wall and two opposing side walls. The front wall presents an inner surface and an upper edge portion extending between the side walls. The front wall comprises an upper reinforcement element which is integrally formed with the front wall and extends along the upper edge portion of the front wall. The reinforcement element presents a lining protection portion projecting inwardly beyond the inner surface of the front wall towards a rear end of the side walls, and is configured to both reinforce the front wall as well as, by the lining protection portion, to form an upper lining protection for a front wall lining.
- The haul truck body may further comprise a front wall lining arranged on the inner surface of the front wall, the front wall lining having an upper lining edge which is located directly under the associated lining protection portion.
- The lining protection portion as well as the upper lining edge located thereunder may project essentially perpendicular to the inner surface of the front wall.
- Each lining protection portion may project over the upper edge of the front wall lining by a distance at least equal to a thickness of the front wall lining.
- Each front wall lining may comprise a plurality front wall lining elements located directly under the associated lining protection portion and forming the upper lining edge of the front wall lining.
- The reinforcement element may extend substantially along the entire length of the front wall between the side walls.

-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a truck comprising a haul truck body according to a first aspect of the invention. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a truck haul body according to the first aspect of the invention. -
FIG. 2A is an enlargement of a portion of the haul truck body inFIG. 2 upon attachment of a lining element to a side wall thereof. -
FIG. 2B is an enlargement of the portion inFIG. 2A when the lining element has been attached to the side wall. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a further exemplary embodiment of the truck haul body according to the first aspect of the invention. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the truck haul body according to a further aspect of the invention. -
FIG. 1 illustrates one exemplary embodiment of atruck 1 comprising ahaul truck body 2 of metal material comprising a lining. The lining is constituted by a plurality oflining elements 3. Thelining elements 3 are provided along a surface of thehaul truck body 2. -
FIG. 2 illustrates one exemplary embodiment of thehaul truck body 2. Thehaul truck body 2 comprises afront wall 5 and two opposingside walls 6. Each one of the opposingside walls 6 has aninner surface 7 and anupper edge portion 8 which extends from arear end 9 of theside wall 6 towards thefront wall 5. Each one of theside walls 6 further comprises anupper reinforcement element 10 which is integrally formed with theside wall 6 and which extends along theupper edge portion 8 of theside wall 6. - The
reinforcement element 10 has alining protection portion 11 which projects inwardly beyond theinner surface 7 of theside wall 6 towards the opposingside wall 6. Thereinforcement element 10 extends substantially along the entire length of theside wall 6 from thefront wall 5 to therear end 9 of theside wall 6. - The
haul truck body 2 further comprises a side wall lining 12 which is arranged on theinner surface 7 of eachside wall 6. Each side wall lining 12 has anupper lining edge 13 which is located directly under the associatedlining protection portion 11. This way, thereinforcement element 10 will both reinforce theside wall 6 and form an upper lining protection for the side wall lining 12. -
FIGS. 2A and 2B illustrate an enlargement of a portion of thehaul truck body 2. Thelining protection portion 11 as well as theupper lining edge 13 located thereunder project essentially perpendicular to the surface of theside wall 6. Eachlining protection portion 11 projects over theupper edge portion 8 of theside wall 6 lining by a distance at least equal to a thickness of the side wall lining 12. Each side wall lining 12 comprises a plurality side wall lining elements located directly under the associatedlining protection portion 11 thereby forming theupper lining edge 13 of the side wall lining 12. - The
lining elements 3 have an outwardly directed surface, over which material in the form of pieces or particles, such as crushed ore and crushed rock material, moves or impacts. Thelining elements 3 normally comprise elastomeric material and are preferably made from rubber or polyurethane. Traditionally, thelining elements 3 covering theside walls 6 of the haul truck body have been especially vulnerable since the material impacts on the upper edge thereof. Also, the material tends to find its way in under thelining elements 3 by travelling in between the upper edge of thelining elements 3 and theside wall 6 of thehaul truck body 2. This is a problem since the material gradually will loosen thelining elements 3 from theside walls 6 which eventually fall off. - The problems above are solved by means of the
reinforcement element 10. Thereinforcement 10 element presents alining protection portion 11 projecting inwardly beyond theinner surface 7 of theside wall 6 towards the opposingside wall 6, thereby creating a roof for the upper edge of theuppermost lining elements 3 on theside wall 6. An effect achieved from this solution is that thelining elements 3 of the side wall lining 12 will no longer have to be provided with an integrated steel end protection for attachment to theside wall 6. - According to a first manufacturing method for the
haul truck body 2, the bottom 15, theside walls 6 and thefront wall 5 are moulded in one single piece with thereinforcement elements 10, such that eachreinforcement element 10 projects inwardly beyond theinner surface 7 of theside wall 6 towards the opposingside wall 6. Thereafter, thehaul truck body 2 is provided with a side wall lining 12 on theinner surface 7 of eachside wall 6, a bottom lining 16 on the bottom 15 and a front wall lining 17 on thefront wall 5. - Another possibility is to separately form the bottom 15, the
side walls 6 and thefront wall 5. Thereafter, thereinforcement elements 10 are formed and attached to theside walls 6 of thehaul truck body 2. As a final step, thehaul truck body 2 is provided with a side wall lining 12 on theinner surface 7 of eachside wall 6, a bottom lining 16 on the bottom 15 and a front wall lining 17 on thefront wall 5 in the same manner as above. - It is understood that other variations in the present invention are contemplated and in some instances, some features of the invention can be employed without a corresponding use of other features. Accordingly, it is appropriate that the appended claims be construed broadly in a manner consistent with the scope of the invention.
- For instance, the
reinforcement element 10 could be divided into two or more reinforcement element units. - Naturally, the number, size and shape of the components of the
haul truck body 2 may be variated in any suitable way without departing from the scope of the invention.
